Thats so sad. They can't hide. 😟

 

 


But they are well camouflaged in Western New York's snowy winters.  Smiley Happy

When I worked up at Basking Ridge, NJ there was a wildlife sanctuary nearby.  In late afternoon when the herd of deer would appear to eat, at the very end...separate from the herd....would be an albino deer.  So sad to see this animal left alone.

The albino deer being left alone is heart breaking.

@butterfly123@jlkz I once had a dog that had two white pups and two black pups.

 

The mother wouldn't feed the two black pups, so we had to bottle feed them.

 

Not sure why this happens in nature. But yes, it is very sad.
